Sinopsis

The Idiot is a novel written by Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The 26-year-old Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin returns to Russia after spending several years at a Swiss sanatorium. Scorned by the society of St. Petersburg for his trusting nature and naiveté, he finds himself at the center of a struggle between a beautiful kept woman and a virtuous and pretty young girl, both of whom win his affection. Unfortunately, Myshkin's very goodness precipitates disaster, leaving the impression that, in a world obsessed with money, power, and sexual conquest, a sanatorium may be the only place for a saint.

In her essay "The Epileptic Mode of Being," Elizabeth Dalton wrote that in The Idiot, more than in any other of Dostoevsky's works, we are shown "the actual experience itself" of one mind wrestling with the various tensions of life - rather than simply dwelling on "intellectual speculation," as we see in Crime and Punishment and Notes from Underground.

    On the outer edges of populated space, beyond the Galactic Federation's reach, crime syndicates rule the stars, none more influential than the Niiosian Mob. Controlling multiple planetary systems through economic leverage, calculated violence, and covert operations, the Mob shapes Fringe Space with its extensive network and virtually unchallenged authority. 
    Ken Oda is the Mob's deadliest assassin, a precision instrument sent to silence threats across the Fringe. When he's dispatched to thwart a rebellion disrupting Mob trade, he's unexpectedly paired with his half-brother Jerrick, a fellow hitman whose brutal methods clash with Ken's preference for finesse. Tasked with either eliminating the rebels or aligning them with the Mob, the brothers must navigate a treacherous environment where conflicting approaches, unchecked ambition, and hidden agendas test their partnership. 
    Loyalty ties Ken and Jerrick, both to Niio and to each other, but the mission strains their alliance. As they confront its challenges, every decision carries a price—blood, trust, the bond of brotherhood—reshaping their relationship in a world where outcomes are never certain. 
    Tools of the Trade is a prequel to the Fracture: Ziva Payvan Legacy, Part 1 and Embers: Ziva Payvan Legacy, Part 2 and can be enjoyed independently.

    The only thing worse than hiding from werewolves is living among them. 
    No wonder I kept some secrets, broke a few rules...and implicated my werewolf protector in the process. Oops. 
    To make matters worse, the stealer of my dead mother's magic has set his sights on my sister a second time. As the child's powers fade, so does her vitality until death looms on the horizon. 
    Can I learn to harness the power of the pack --- and squash my individuality --- before my sister's life is entirely sucked away from her? And, with my recent blunders causing upheaval in the werewolf world, will my former protector be willing to help us if I choose to ask? 
    This second book in Aimee Easterling's "nailbiting" and "explosive" urban fantasy series follows Wolf's Bane.

    They came into town like it already belonged to them. 
    Four men. Guns loose at their sides. Smiles that didn’t reach their eyes. 
    They weren’t looking for trouble. 
    They were looking for her. 
    He found his sister in the dirt before they could take her—bleeding, barely conscious, and caught in something bigger than either of them understood. 
    Now there’s no time to run. No one coming to help. And no law willing to stand in the way. 
    Just one man. One choice. 
    Because some lines aren’t drawn in the sand—they’re held in blood. 
    And when the guns come up, a brother doesn’t step aside. 
    He stands. 
    Even if it means facing down every man in the street… 
    and knowing he might not walk away.
